The Visibility Details section provides a number of additional settings that can be used to control the appearance of a field.
The Generate Field checkbox is used to indicate whether the current field should be included in the generated output. If this box is not ticked, the current field will not be included in the resulting page.
The Hide Field Based on Runtime Server Data? option provides an alternative method for conditionally hiding this field In this case some binding information will need to be specified that specifies when to hide the field This check happens on the server, so if the field is hidden the contents will never be available on the client side.
The Disable Field based on Runtime Data option allows us to disable the field based on some data in the information used to construct the page at runtime. For example, we may have a button on a page that can only be used by certain users. Therefore we could set it to disable the button if the current user isn't allowed access.
The Disable method radio buttons are enabled if the Disable Field based on Runtime Data option is selected. (Or if this field is within a group with the 'disable' option turned on.) The user may then choose how to disable the field, either by setting the disabled flag, or by setting it to read-only. There are differences in how the browsers handle these two options and so a different setting may be required in different circumstances. Regardless of the setting, specific styling options for disabled fields can be set in the Field Style Details section.
